Language service contracts 311/2026

FOI Reference: 311/2026

Request:

1. When the organisation last ran a procurement or tender process for language services, including (but not limited to) translation, interpretation, or transcription services.
2. The evaluation weighting used in that tender, specifically the percentage weighting allocated to quality and the percentage weighting allocated to price (e.g., 70% quality / 30% price).
3. The quality and price scores awarded to each bidder in that tender, including:

• • The name of each bidder (unless withheld under Section 43 or other relevant exemption).
  • The quality score for each bidder.
  • The price score for each bidder.
  • The total score for each bidder (if available).

Response:

I can confirm that Dyfed-Powys Police does not hold the information requested, this is due to the fact that Dyfed-Powys Police currently utilise the Agreement for the provision of a shared managed interpreter and translation service. 

This Agreement is intended by the Members to form a contract which establishes cooperation and collaboration between contracting authorities for the purpose of Regulation 12 (7) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This has been in place since 2009 and has not been subject to a tender process.

This is for Welsh Public Sector Organisations.
